To complete theKalos Pokedex inPokemon GO, players will need to add Espurr and its evolution Meowstic to their collection. These elusive cat-like Pokemon have the particular feature of having a branching evolution depending on their genre. Female Meowstic has a light color pattern and a spongy tail, while the male Meowstic has a spiky, fox-like tail and a deep blue color pattern.
Espurr and Meowstic are Psychic-type Pokemon, and while the first stage of this line can reach a maximum CP of 1424, Meowstic reaches 2404 CP, making it the only one decent enough for Great League, though it requires a precise CP 1499 and IV Spread (0/15/15) to make it viable.
